In recent years, South-east and east of Iran has become one of the most important hotspots of dust events due to numerous droughts, upstream dams and severe land use changes. In order to evaluate the seasonal variations of dust, 15 synoptic stations were selected during 1980–2015 and then extracted from the present weather codes. Additionally, the AOD index of the Terra MODIS satellite sensor and the Aura Satellite Aerial Index of Absorption (AAI) were used during the period 2015–2005. Mann-Kendall nonparametric test was used to investigate the trend of dust days and Spearman correlation method was used for correlation of dust days. The average days of dust in this region are 9 days and maximum days of dusty days are 45 days that occur in Zabol station at summer. Intra-seasonal variations of dust over east and southwestern of Iran have two maximum phases at spring and summer. Dust also has an inverse relationship with altitude and latitude. Climate parameters, drying up of rivers and lakes, and land use changes are three major factors in dust production in eastern and southeastern Iran. Main sources of dust production and emission over the region are (1) Makran coast; (2) Hamoun and Jazmourian dried bed (3) Lut Plain and (4) Border region of Iran, Afghanistan and Pakistan. At most stations except Zabul, Bam and Kerman have an increasing trend of dust events.

Today employment is one of the most important indicators of development in the countries. The analysis of the employment process and its structure across the country and its various areas requires accurate knowledge of the potentialities and their composition in the areas , to create balanced planning and employment in each area. This research is descriptive-analytic and aims to analyze the spatial distribution pattern of public and private sector employees in Iranian Townships. The statistical population consists of 397 Township all over of Iran, whose statistics and data were from the general census of population and housing in 2016. In this regard, after collecting the data and theoretical studies of public and private sector employees, the spatial automation correlation model based on the Moran's I index and Spatial Statistics Tools used for spatial and Hot Spot Analysis with Rending. The results of data analysis indicate that the distribution patterns of public and private sector employees in the Iranian Townships is clustered (was not distributed uniformly in the different Townships). Also, according to the analysis of Hot Spots, the distribution of employees in the public and private sectors was observed, with the highest in Tehran and centralized in a radius of approximately 300 km from it (although Tehran itself is confined with a 95% confidence level), and the rest of the Townships have more balanced distributions.

Urban regeneration, as a comprehensive and integrated operational vision and approach, seeks to improve the economic, social, physical and environmental conditions of an urban community that has been subject to change; in a way that ultimately leads to a sustainable economic, physical, social and environmental development and improvement. Meanwhile, one of the ongoing problems of human settlements is biological hazards and epidemics such as malaria, influenza and coronavirus (Covid virus 19), which has faced many challenges in different parts of the world, especially cities in various economic, social, environmental and other dimensions. Therefore, there is a need for a framework for planning and regeneration approaches to future cities in order to deal with such risks. For this purpose, the present study has been written with the aim of developing applied knowledge in identifying the factors affecting the realization of sustainable urban regeneration of Tabriz in the post-Corona era. Therefore, the research method is applied in terms of purpose and analytical and exploratory in nature, and data analysis has been done using the Delphi method (15 elites and managers) and the application of cross-impact analysis technique in Micmac software. Based on the obtained results, the most effective among the studied components for sustainable urban regeneration of Tabriz in the post-Corona era are related to the components of information technology management in organizations in charge of urban affairs and emphasis on knowledge-based and knowledge-based management, emphasis on urban governance and urban management system integration, to create a mechanism to achieve the participation of citizens, private institutions and government organizations in the urban management system and the realization of a holistic view in the face of complex issues of cities.

Female spaces are important topics in urban studies. The performance of some of these spaces (such as jewelry stores) is such that they attract women's population in a meaningful way without the requirement of limiting the presence of men. Therefore, the present study intends to evaluate the pattern of gold shops in the urban spaces, while choosing two regions with different income status from Mashhad and show the visible differences in the distribution of such spaces (according to the income level of each region). and what unwritten rules does this model follow? The descriptive-analytical study method and the statistical population also includes all gold shops located in areas 1 and 5 of Mashhad (including 630 gold shops). In the first step, after creating a location database in ArcGis, the location of gold shops was determined based on the information available in Mashhad Municipal Union Bank. In the continuation of using 7 variables (from the locational characteristics of gold shops and the elements of the spatial structure of each region), including the absolute location, size, time of establishment of each gold shop, proximity to surrounding uses, roads and communication arteries, the population and the population of women, the spatial differences regarding the establishment of gold shops were investigated. . The investigated models include "density model", "center of gravity", "standard distance", "nearest neighbor", "spatial autocorrelation" and "spatio-temporal model". The results show that in developed areas, women's spaces are less consistent with the distribution of women's population, while in low-income areas, women's spaces are more compatible with local elements such as proximity to bus stations, local arteries, and residential spaces. . At the same time, the common point in this regularity is the prosperity of these spaces over time. which seems to lead urban spaces to become more feminine in the future.

A resilient society is able to respond positively to changes or tensions and is able to maintain its core function as a society despite tensions. Natural hazards are one of the main threats to human societies. They overshadow their resilience. Earthquake is one of the most important natural disasters. Earthquakes are basically considered as uncontrollable phenomena. On average, there are 27 catastrophic earthquakes in the world every year, during which 19,000 people die and 36,000 people become homeless.Among these, the geographical area of Iran is one of the accident-prone areas where many natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods, storms, droughts, firefighting activities and desertification are examples of which occur every year. In the meantime, the city of Tabriz is one of the largest and most important cities in Iran, which is located in a very high risk area, adjacent to the Tabriz fault and having a population of 1558693 people and the existence of huge human, cultural and History introduces Tabriz as the most dangerous city in terms of earthquake riskAccordingly, Tabriz fault is the most dangerous fault in the country

The Islamic city is an idea that has raised many questions about its nature and characteristics. In this regard, various scientific systems have approached it from different angles and tried to explain it. However, a critical review of the relevant literature reveals a high volume of misinterpretations and confusions about this idea and its related concepts, topics, and goals. Accepting the fact that the existence of mosques, domes and minarets in the context of a city can not mean that the city is Islamic, makes it clear that it must be in other elements and components and we should look for signs of Muslim life and patterns of an Islamic city not only in the body, but also the spirit and identity of cities. In the present study, the drivers of the Islamic city were extracted (qualitative part of the research) by studying valid jurisprudential sources (Quran and Nahj al-Balaghah), and then the quality of their realization in the metropolis of Tabriz was measured. The results obtained from the qualitative part of the research place the drivers of the Islamic city in three categories: monotheism and unity, justice and security. The results of statistical analysis show that Islamic manifestations and the realization of its principles in the city of Tabriz is not prosperous and requires planning to improve the quality of realization of these indicators

From urbanization, the phenomenon of the urban temperature island follows which the city rises and increases from energy to cool. In this research, the role of local factors in the creation and development of heat islands in the city of Ahvaz during the hot period from 2000 to 2015 was investigated using Landsat 7 and 8 satellite data. In order to evaluate the biophysical changes of the land surface in Ahvaz city, the changes of vegetation difference indices were taken by Tokanga-Tag threshold method. By using the kriging method and the low speed zones of Ahvaz, the thresholds of the closest and maximum temperature of Ahvaz city, it appears that this change can cause a change in the local climate. The results of Moran's spatial autocorrelation are a confirmation of the lack of spatial correlation of ground surface temperature in Ahvaz. The evaluation of the northern maps showed that as we move from the southern regions to the northern regions, the temperature increases due to the increase of green space and the increase of barren lands. There is a sharp temperature difference between the central and suburban areas of the city, because of the establishment of industrial companies, District 8 has formed the most stable islands in this area of the city. Residential areas have had less impact on the creation and expansion of thermal islands than industrial and barren areas.

Problems caused by climate change are one of the most important environmental crises and threats of human society, especially in urban environments. In the city of Tabriz and in recent years, due to the growth of the population, a lot of migration from other cities, traffic, the development of industries and production centers have caused an increase in the production and distribution of pollutants. Based on this, in this research, attention has been paid to the evaluation of the quality of dust occurrence in the years 2019 and 2018. The concentration of dust particles in different areas of the studied places varies depending on the geographical location, topographical, climatic conditions and also their origin, both internal and external. Based on the results obtained from the analysis of laboratory results and field studies, in the Tabriz region and during the research period, the concentration of lead metal in dust is moderate for adults and severe for children, and the risk of mercury metal for both the elderly and children. It has been intense. The adverse effects of cadmium metal have been very severe in children and adults. On the other hand, the high air temperature in the city center and the formation of thermal islands in it causes local winds from the suburbs to the city center. With the transfer of pollution from the suburbs to the city center by these winds, the pollution situation in the city center also increases.

RFID enables the automatic identification, tracking, and management of objects, humans, and animals using radio frequency communication. RFID function depends on two tag and code readers that use radio waves to communicate with each other. In this study, RFID is an electronic payment system that uses a tag to pass tolls. The RFID tag is unique to each vehicle and connects to the windshield or headlight with a built-in radio frequency chip. The RFID tag attaches to the Touch 'n Go eWallet software. When a vehicle passes through tolls, an overhead scanner reads the radio frequency from the RFID tag, deducts the fare, and is chargeable. RFID is targeted at the toll system to be able to quickly identify objects, thus providing time savings and revolutionizing payment management. The purpose of this study is to introduce RFID technology and explain the need to use it to electronicize road tolls and subsequently make cities smarter. The present study is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive-survey based on its nature and method. The statistical population consists of 50 experts and officials of the Road Traffic Control Organization, Mashhad Municipality ICT Organization, personnel present at the entrance gate of Mashhad-Baghcheh tolls and 100 drivers passing through this highway. Data were collected through a researcher-made questionnaire and analyzed using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. Considering the level of significance of the test, it can be said that this technology can be used in cities and the results indicate that by equipping cars with RFID technology, complete management and supervision of highways, information management, accident management, location management and complete driver management Facilitates own driving.

Understanding the climatic potentials of the regions is very important for the diversity and talent of agricultural products. Barberry, one of the products of Iran, suffers from climate change and anomalies. In the present study, the phonological stages of barberry tree without any basis of field observations in Ghaen synoptic meteorological station were determined. To measure the accumulation of cooling needs based on the cold clock model and the Utah unit, the statistics of 18 valid meteorological stations from 1987 to 2017 on an hourly and daily time scale were used. The results showed that barberry needs six phonological stages to complete the growth period from early April to late November. The highest temperature requirement occurs in the ripening stage until fruit development. The cooling requirement of barberry tree in different stations varies from 1050 to 1960 hours depending on climatic conditions. Field observations showed that seedless barberry does not take on a full and commercial color if it does not meet the need for sufficient cooling. The study area was zoned according to the models of the cold clock and the Utah unit, based on which Ghaen and Zahedan stations have the highest cooling needs. Based on the validation indices of different models estimating the need for cooling, the root mean square criterion was used and the results show that the cold hour (CH) model has a higher performance due to the fact that the root mean square (RMSE) is less than the other model.

Population growth and urbanization have reduced the per capita access to many social and economic facilities and its consequences have been manifested in a decrease in the quality of life in various urban areas.Tabriz metropolis, like most major cities in the country, is the bedrock of spatial inefficiency in the regions to benefit from public urban services, especially educational services. The need to pay attention to educational use as the most basic urban public services is very important due to the youth of our country. This research has analyzed the distribution of educational centers in Tabriz, especially girls' schools in the first and second secondary school, from the point of view of spatial justice. The research method is descriptive-analytical. In order to achieve the research objectives, GIS software has been used to determine the operating radius of these units and the per capita of these units has been calculated and compared with the standard per capita and the amount of shortage or surplus of these services has been determined. In order to rank these schools, indicators have been determined and these indicators have been weighed using the Topsis technique. Finally, the schools have been ranked from excellent to very poor in terms of the desired indicators and have shown their distribution in the city of Tabriz Has been. The result is that the largest number of schools are ranked as poor schools and only 7 schools are excellent according to the desired indicators, which are located in areas 1 and 3.The urban management of Tabriz metropolis needs to pay attention to areas deprived of the educational services index.

Widespread climate changes and their consequences on the economic, social, political, etc. fields have forced global societies to take serious decisions and change development strategies. Reducing greenhouse gas emissions, which is an important factor in global warming, is one of these strategies. Cities, as centers of population and a variety of polluting activities, are important centers of greenhouse gas production. This issue is more visible in developing countries including Iran. In this regard, this research tries to identify the components and indicators that affect urban carbon reduction with the aim of investigating the theoretical foundations and background, and to analyze and present them for future urban plans and strategies. For this reason, the current research was conducted using confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation model, and it was conducted in survey and Desk search. The methodological approach of the research is also quantitative in terms of the type of data. The main tool for data collection is a closed questionnaire with a Likert scale. SPSS21 and AMOS23 software were used for data analysis. Finally, various fitting tests were performed and their usefulness was evaluated. The obtained results show that different components and indicators are effective on urban decarbonization with different impact levels. Factor loadings indicate the extent of their influence on the subject. Among the components and indicators, the options related to the preservation of forests, clean and pedestrian-oriented transportation, use of clean energy, etc., have received the highest factor load and have a warning sign on the policies adopted by the responsible bodies in the field. Moving towards the mentioned components is a big step towards forming one of the three sides of sustainable development.

One of the important conditions for optimal use of land is obtaining information about landuse patterns and their changes over time. Landuse is usually defined based on human use of land, emphasizing the role of land in economic activities. Today, remote sensing technology is considered as the main element in landuse monitoring. The aim of the current research is to extract landuse maps for the years 2000 and 2021 in FirozabadKhalkhal region and to investigate the changes made in the studied time period in the region using the images of ETM and OLI sensors of Landsat. Also, checking the capability of basic pixel and object-oriented methods for landuse classification is another purpose of this study. In the current research, the object-oriented technique nearest neighbor algorithm and the vector machine method supporting the pixel-based algorithm have been used for landuse classification. Then, to verify the accuracy of these two methods, the overall accuracy and Kappa were extracted. The results of this evaluation show the high accuracy of the object-oriented method in extracting land use classes. Based on the results of the detection of landuse changes in the studied time period, the highest amount of changes occurred is related to the use of good pasture to poor pasture with a value of 51.72 square kilometers, followed by forest to good pasture with a value of 30.11 and the lowest changes It is related to the use of pasture and water with the amount of 0.03 square kilometers. The reasons for these changes are the increase in population, indiscriminate grazing of livestock, incorrect and illegal use of different lands. The use of more parameters such as scale, shape, compactness, color, texture, smoothness criterion and pattern for landuse classification in the object oriented technique can be considered as an innovation of the present study.

Today, climate change and habitat loss are the biggest threats to wildlife. Therefore, accurate information on ecology and habitat requirements conserve species from these changes and identifying the most important factors to attract species and the development of habitat suitability maps can be considered a species protection process. After leopards and cheetahs, Caracal is the third biggest member of the cat family (Felidae) in Iran that has a key role in controlling of rodent populations and its habitat is mostly in arid areas. Accordingly, the aim of this study is to consider the effects of climate change on Caracal habitats and the distribution of the species under two climate scenarios RCP2.6 and RCP8.5 in the period of 2061 to 2080 in Iran by using the maximum entropy method. In this study, four groups of environmental variables are used: climat, topography, land cover, and land use. The results showed that distance from the conservation network, distance from sand dunes, and distance from dense forest areas had the greatest impact on the selection of suitable habitat for the Caracal at the present time and for the future time, the variables of mean temperature of warmest quarter and elevation had the highest importance on the distribution of Caracal. In addition, the study of Caracal's habitat suitability maps revealed that these species currently occupy only 13.2% of Iran, which have only 48.2% overlap with the current conservation network. While, in the future, the desired habitat rate of the species under the scenarios of RCP2.6 and RCP8.5 will be reached 30.9 and 27.4, respectively, and the amount of overlap with the current protected network will be reduced to about 66%, and the amount of overlap will have arrived at 17.8%.

The urban environment has a special place in meeting the needs and satisfaction of people and therefore quality is measured not only based on the objective environment but also based on people's perception of the environment to which they belong. Therefore, the present study has evaluated the quality of the urban environment of the newly established neighborhoods of Shahrekord with a descriptive-analytical method based on library studies and field studies. According to the purpose of the research, quantitative and statistical methods such as multiple regression, structural equations and fuzzy multivariate analysis in GIS environment have been used to assess the environmental quality of the target areas. In this model, in LISREL software, 54 quality indicators of urban environment in the form of 4 physical, economic, social and environmental indicators have been studied and SPSS software has been used for statistical analysis and ArcGIS software has been used to draw analytical maps. . Findings show that in terms of having environmental quality indicators, priority in the western Mirabad neighborhood, physical, environmental, social and economic indicators with 0.599, 0.539, 0.378 and 0.324, respectively. Percentage and neighborhood of Farhangian alley have priority, physical, economic, environmental and social index with 0.412, 0.260, 0.254 and 0.225 percent, respectively, have the most role in the environmental quality of Shahrekord, which shows the variables of satisfaction. From the physical-environmental quality of the neighborhoods, it has the greatest effect on improving the quality of life in the newly established neighborhoods. Also, in examining the situation of Shahrekord, there was an obvious difference in the level of satisfaction of the residents of Mirabad Gharbi and Farhangian alleys.

Senior tourism is receiving a lot of attention due to its capabilities and competitive advantages. Qom city is the second largest pilgrimage center in the country in national level, a potential market that can use its competitive advantage in attracting senior tourists by removing barriers of seniors’ travel.The purpose of this study is to provide a framework for identifying the direct and indirect impacts of barriers affecting the development of senior tourism in Qom city. The barriers to senior tourism development are classified into four main sectors of economic, social and cultural, managerial and organizational, government attitudes. This research is an applied research and the method is descriptive-analytical. Survey and library methods were used for data collection. The statistical population of the study consists of senior tourists and experts in tourism. Data analysis was performed using SPSS software. The results indicated that four factors have a positive effect on the lack of development of senior tourism. The results of T-test also showed that all barriers were higher than the criterion level at the significant level of 0.05 and the highest mean is allocated to economic barriers (5.17) and lowest mean to managerial and organizational barriers (2.10). The most influential factor on the lack of development of senior tourism is economic barriers (with beta coefficient of 0.643) which explains 52% of the variance of senior tourism lack of development. The Tolerance coefficient of 0.923 also indicates that economic barriers are strong predictor and criterion.
